Vs Lowestoft

[plumsteadblue]

First post, so please go easy on me. Lowestoft fan here.

There's a few of us (we'll four to be exact) travelling down by train from London for Saturday's FA Trophy match. According to another non-league forum, if we get off at Eastbourne Station and walk to Argos, we can catch a Loop 11 bus towards Langney that drops us at the ground. 

Questions: Is the above correct? What is the journey time? Is there a return bus at approx 17:15'ish to take us back to the station? Would we be as well just jumping in a cab?

I'm assuming that having a refreshment in the clubhouse pre-match won't be a problem (this match is hardly a Cat A fixture). 

Thanks for any additional info.

Hi Guys

The "LOOP" will take about 20 /25 mins to Priory Lane, bus stop is 50 meters from ground (ask driver to give you a shout)
The return stop is right outside our ground.
Buses run every 15 to 20 mins.
A cab is quicker (Not sure of cost) about £10 / £12

Club house is open to all
Main Bar meals available (Giant T.V + 4 smaller ones
Happy Jacks Bar / Resturant ( main meals + ( 2 T.V. )

Ground 80% undercover, no extra charge to sit in the Stand
Smoking is only allowed in open areas in the ground.

Hope this helps, pleased to see you and all Lowestoft supporters
on Saturday

Cheers,

Good morning PB and welcome. The Loop bus service does stop directly outside the ground and runs, I think, every 20 minutes - but others may be more expert on that one. A cab for four might stack up at about the same cost as four bus fares. Or you can take the train on to Pevensey and Westham - two stops on the line to Hastings, usually without a change of train. It's then a healthy 15-20 minutes' walk to the ground, with a glass of your favourite ale waiting for you, with big-screen footy, in the clubhouse.

With four of you, the stewards will of course need to do a full risk assessment in consultation with the local constabulary, to assess the segregation needs. (Actually, we hope there will be plenty more of you making the journey from Loostaft, and you will be made very welcome. At Eastbourne Borough there is no such things as a Cat A game....)

Safe travelling!
